The Rev. Toris Young, a twice-convicted felon who led a failed recall effort against U.S. Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao last year, has had two years added to a 27-month prison sentence he received in Mississippi because he was on parole when he committed the crimes.

Young, 38, received the 27-month sentence in Jackson, Miss., in October, after he pleaded guilty to bank fraud and using forged money orders. At the time, Young was on supervised release, or parole, for his 2006 conviction in New Orleans on 11 counts of access device fraud and identity theft.

The later case amounted to a violation of his supervised release in the first conviction, Assistant U.S. Attorney Loan "Mimi" Nguyen argued. U.S. District Judge Lance Africk agreed and revoked his supervised release on Dec. 16, records show. Young will begin serving the two-year sentence after he completes the 27 months he received in Jackson, Africk ordered.

Young, formerly pastor of the Greater Bibleway Missionary Baptist Church in New Orleans, made headlines last year when he tried to have Cao recalled for voting against President Barack Obama's stimulus package. Young also joined with local rapper Corey "C-Murder" Miller in announcing an anti-crime initiative, months before Miller was convicted last year of murder.

In the New Orleans case, Young pleaded guilty to stealing identities to get bank accounts and credit cards, through which he stole about $116,000 in goods. He was sentenced to 37 months in prison followed by three years of parole, records show.

In the Mississippi case, he used a social security number that was not his own to open a bank account in which he deposited forged money orders that were stolen in New Orleans in 2005, totalling almost $5,000, according to the indictment in that case.
